I've just binned them for Bosch ones, they were getting very noisy and annoying. Well I think it was the Narpy blades I binned, got wiper blades all over the place in the man cave room so never sure what was on what car. The Bosch ones are better & quieter but it's early days yet. Thumbs Up

Changing mine now too.
Had them in for approx 18 months but the windscreen has been replaced twice in that time so it's time to bin them.
They'll be replaced with another set of cheapo Narpy's, they're very good. Thumbs Up

The link to the Narpy blades doesn't work any longer.
Advance Factors have Bosch for a reasonable price but the set is listed as 1 x 21" & 1 x 22".
I currently have 2 x 22" on the car at the moment.
What is the general concensus? Does size matter?

I’ve just bought a set of Michelin wipers from Aldi this evening, £4.99 each. Even if they’re crap, I thought for £4.99 they were worth a shot. Only available in store now as sold out online.

 Cheers Scott.

The recent snow broke my drivers side wiper blade. Just had delivered a set of Bosch AeroTwins from Europarts website. Good price with the discount from someone else’s post. Make sure you have the correct wiper arms though. Despite putting my reg no on the website, the wrong blades arrived. My arms are the hook type, what arrived was the straight type. In fairness to Europarts, another website says the wrong ones are suitable for my Disco, they must use the same software. Europarts shop in Chesterfield was great, willing to take back the wrong blades, or give me some that would fit for the same price as the web offer which was half price. Needless to say which option I took. 5 minutes later setting off with new wiper blades on.

I put a set of Michelin Stealth blades on Miss Moneypit a couple of years ago. They were on offer at Costco (membership required) for around a fiver.

They are generally quiet & clear the screen well. A great improvement over the things on it before that used to clonk in unison on each path!

They are a seasonal product in Costco

++Update++

My cheapo wipers are starting to lose their effectiveness. They are not clearing the top 2 inches of screen on the drivers side so I'll replace them before winter sets in.
Considering it's been one of the driest years on record, I suppose they've lasted about 8 months.
Not great I know, but for 6 quid or thereabouts, I can't really complain.
